4/4

Loved this version of skirt stake. The family loved the steak by itself but the pomegranate reduction made it something special. A winner, will definitely make for company Would be very happy if served this quality at a restaurant.

I always have sumac in the pantry as it's so versatile. This recipe made great use of the slight tartness of the sumac. I didnt have any pomegranate juice on hand, so I instead used grape juice. The reduction was so flavourful so much so thati would consider using it with other proteins. I highly recommend this recipe.

Will definitely make this again! The flavor of the sumac rub would stand on its own, but the pomegranate sauce takes it to another level. I used pomegranate juice that I purchased at a middle eastern grocery store. No changes to recipe except only whisked in 1 TB butter to the finished sauce. To those of you who are new to Sumac this is a wonderful seasoning to sprinkle over ANY vegetable. First tasted sumac in Turkey and fell in love with its flavor -- I sprinkle it over pretty much every vegetable.

Absolutely delicious. Entire family, including 5 year old, RAVED. Made it almost exactly as written, only omitting the last two tablespoons of butter at the end because the sauce looked so good as it was I felt I could leave it out without sacrificing any flavor. Used POM pomegranate juice, and it boiled right down into a beautiful syrup in 20 minutes. Served it with Seeds of Change Organic Dharamsala rice blend (ready made in a pouch, couldn't be easier or more delicious) and a quick salad of figs, avocado, and sliced almonds over spinach drizzled with a bottled balsamic reduction. Whole thing took maybe 45 minutes. Tasted out of this world.

This was easy to make and delicious. Living in Israel, all the ingredients are handy - skirt steak is the hardest thing to find! And a friend just brought me whole fresh sumac from Istanbul. The port-pomegranate sauce/reduction is out of this world. I was literally licking my plate. I served with a simple side of thinly sliced zucchini sauteed in butter and garlic.

Use pomegranate syrup available at middle eastern stores and there is no need to reduce or add sugar. I served this with roasted brussel sprouts with pine nuts and roasted sweet potatos. Great sweet/savory meal and healthy!

Simple, low effort, and delicious. I will definitely make this again! I followed the recipe exactly, using ruby port, but next time I may try the pomegranate molasses that others suggested since it would significantly shorten the time-to-table.

Absolutely delicious and unique flavor. Preferred the reduction to the molasses. I double recipe to have leftovers as once is never enough with this dish....

I live in Istanbul and we have an abundance of all the ingredients. Unfortunately my dish was not a success. Im thinking our pomegranate juice here is not the typically sweet juice found in the States. We have a pomegranate molasses but that is very tart. I doubt it would give the same effect. Any suggestions?
